This was one of the trickiest pieces I've painted. Each of the bars is round, so really increased the amount of drips and drip marks that dried. I used a Gloss paint from the Little Paint company, which is a bit harder to use as well.

I kept the little animals, but removed the springs and washers.

I'm really pleased with the teddy stickers I bought. I am going to use the remaining stickers on either a chest of drawers of shelving unit for the room - which is best for storing babies things? Any advice gratefully received!

So at 27 weeks pregnant, it times to start Baby Girl's nursery. I have applied two coats of paint to the cot, so will share that as soon as it's finished. I have been trawling through blogs trying to find some inspiration. Here are some of the nurseries that I really like:

About Me

My name is Hayley and I live in Winchester with my Husband, daughter (10 months), step-daughter (11) and cat (8).Four years ago I moved into my husband's house, which was more like a man cave than a home. Thus began my up-cycling love affair, which has grown from basic envelope cushion covers to redesigning welsh dressers and fire places. Recently my creations have become completely baby orientated and I'm loving this new direction!
